hahah, cheers
the rods are ok till around 220ish but if you plan on reving it quite high then i'd uprate them but keep standard pistons
Just trying to work out if i can be bothered to spend the dosh and set a rev limit of 7k, or be a jew and set the rev limit to 6250 and lump it lol RPM i think puts much higher loads on rods than cylinder pressure....
Have you ever removed gudgeon pins from standard cvh pistons mate? i was told by my local machine shop that every time they have pressed a pin out from an rst piston they have cracked the skirt because they can't support it properly.... all the motors i have done in the past have floating pins and clips. Some one suggested heating the piston and lightly tapping the pin out?
